BRACKET-HOOK FOR CAGE-PROTECTORS SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 363,879, dated May 31, 1887.

Application filed September], 1886. Renewed April 13, 1887. Serial No. 234,642. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it k nown that I, WESLEY S. ARMSTRONG, of Cleveland, in the county of Ouya'hoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bracket-Hooks for Gage-Protectors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to protertors for birdcages; and it consists of an improved bracket suspension rod and hook for sustaining the protector, forming the subject of my Patent No. 341,540 of May 11, 1886, the object being to provide a neat detachable device readily applied for supporting the protector at an equal distance around the cage.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of a round cage having the protector supported by theaforesaid bracket rods and hooks. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a square cage, showing the same. Figs. 3 and 4 represent two forms of the bracket-rods full size and detached.

A represents a bird-cage, and B the protector consisting of a band or hoop, 0, having attached a suitable sack or skirt, D, of lace or wi re-cloth., These form the principal features of my aforesaid patent.

E is a rod, which may be made of any suitable material, but preferably of wire, straight or curved, as shown, one end of which is bent and twisted to form a bracket, 6, and hook F,

and on the opposite end a hook, g.

In Fig. 3 the bands of the bracket are-seen turned backward at k k to form side hooks,

which embrace the wires of the cage, as seen at :0, Fig.1, to hold the bracket steady. The book 9 is caught in holesin thebandO. These bracket rods and hooks are adapted to hook onto either the upper or middle bands of the bird-cage, and form aneat convenient support for the protectors, andhold the protector outward from the cage equidistant therefrom and cage, all constructed substantially as described I and shown.

WESLEY S. ARMSTRONG.
